Tom Scott will post 26 more videos before taking a break after 10 years of weekly content.
Before anyone gets really bummed, his channel’s not going away. He’s just taking a much deserved break from ten years of weekly uploads (which is an absolutely insane record considering the quality of his content).
Jesus… I watch his content and never realized he did weekly! That’s incredible with his quality of content.
My man deserves his break after working nonstop and producing consistently high quality videos for a whole decade.
I remember his video testing if pineapples can remove your fingerprint.
They don’t. He did discover the absolutely horrible pain of trying to sleep whilst having exposed tissue in the tips of every finger though.
That’s a man dedicated to a YouTube channel.
Wasn’t that extremely early in his career? That’s a young and foolish man finding out what he doesn’t want to do for a YouTube channel.
Yeah that way back when he had a ponytail and looked completely different in every way, minus the shirt.s.
Yeah, it’s one of those sad but beautiful things. I’m glad he went this route instead of trying to find some way to phone it in or something.
I’m gonna miss his videos but the man really earned his vacation. Best of luck to him.
It’s crazy how he’s been doing it non-stop for 10 years. A well deserved vacation.
He really is a diamond in a sea of shitty YouTube channels.
Technology Connections is another top tier channel without enough recognition.
Yes. I love that guy. He’s on Mastodon too, which is super cool for the fediverse.
He’s also on lemmy
I don’t know about not enough recognition, there’s plenty of awesome channels with only 1K subscribers. He has 2M subscribers and 1M views per 30 min+ video about random old appliances. That amount of recognition is impressive.
I love technology connections too though.
TC’s videos are kinda too long for my taste tho (tom scott length is ideal)
There are so many fucking good ones. It’s less of a sea and more if an entire galaxy at this point, and there’s whole planets to explore.
Totally agree. YouTube is a place I can watch someone tinker with some 30 year old CAD software on 30 year old hardware for an hour, and somehow there’s 100k other weirdos enjoying the same content.
God I wish discovery features were better. There’s so much great stuff out there but it’s so hard to find it.
I think it’s fair to say we’ll miss his regularly released content, but it’s fair to say he deserves a nice break.
Thank you Tom Scott!
I hope he enjoys his well earned break, dude makes some of my favourite content on YouTube
He doesn’t seem the type that’s able to stop doing something. My bet is he’ll take a well deserved break and come back full force with a new project.
A couple of years back he did stop the park bench with Matt cold turkey though… So I can see him stopping or massively slowing down his main channel stuff, but he will keep doing other things on the side for sure!
He then started up Tom Scott Plus and they ramped up the technical difficulties channel so it holds that he probably only stopped one thing so he could start something else.
Before anyone gets really bummed, his channel’s not going away. He’s just taking a much deserved break from ten years of weekly uploads (which is an absolutely insane record considering the quality of his content).
A well deserved break, the amount of travelling he does for his videos must be an insane amount of miles.
I want to believe that he has accumulated many air miles, and is going on one hell of a holiday.
“I am in the Heathrow British Airways First Class lounge with a bottle of champagne”.
Man, I thought he was quitting for something that happened but it’s just a (well deserved) break, good for him.
I hope he takes all the rest he deserves and starts uploading again whenever he feels like it (even switching to an irregular schedule would be fine, most channels that keep a weekly one end up getting stale at some point and the fact he’s been doing it for ten years with this level of quality is amazing)
No matter the topic his Videos were always interesting and fun to watch. Gonna miss his Videos but He deserves his well earned break
Guy’s not aged well. I think the travel is rough on sleep.
He doesn’t look much older than his first video.
I think he looks exactly like a guy who aged ten years.
No way we were all ten years younger ten years ago
“I am currently taking a rest”
Keeping up a video a week for 10 years is insane with the stuff he does
